Score of IL to3
TIE exhibition game yesterday, for the
benefit of the Ladies Benevolent Home, be-
tween the home team and the Wellingtons'
was satisfactory one to the spectators, as it
was exciting, well played, marked by hard
batting and brilliant double plays.
The street car accommodations were ade-
quate, and, although the crowd was large, no
one had to ride standing. The track is laid
to the entrance to the grand stand, and here
after transportation will be easy and con-
venient.
The ladies, who add so much to the appear
ance of the stand and the tone of the sport,
were present in good numbers.
Before the game and between innings music
was furnished by the K. P. band.
